On the geometric structure ofsome statistical manifolds

In information geometry, one of the basic problem is to study the geomet-ric properties of statistical manifold. In this paper, we study the geometricstructure of the generalized normal distribution manifold and show that it has constant {\alpha}-Gaussian curvature. Then for any positive integerp, we con-struct ap-dimensional statistical manifold that is {\alpha}-flat.
